The New Flesh
Then, he crushed a few Yu Feiyan runes and sketched them in the void to draw a simple formation of the Reincarnation Formation.
As soon as the formation was completed, the Sky-ghost suddenly opened its eyes. Different from the strange eyes without pupils in the past, this time, the Sky-ghost's eyes revealed endless doubts.
"You were caught by the evil way and refined into a magic tool. You have suffered endless bitterness. Today, I will help you achieve reincarnation!" Xiao Yi stimulated with his Divine Awareness, and the Reincarnation Formation in the air slowly began to operate with an invisible suction force.
In an instant, the souls of 49 little girls fled from the body of the Sky-ghost. Each of them seemed to recall the past with boundless fear and pain on their faces. They knelt down to Xiao Yi. Then, they hurriedly rushed into the Gate of Samsara. Finally, they were freed from the body of the Sky-ghost and reincarnated.
If the Sky-ghost body had not undergone a strange change within the Fire Dragon Cauldron, it would definitely not be able to reach this stage. It could be considered that the luck of the 49 little girls had finally come. Only then would they be freed.
The 49 little girls were refined into natural ghosts. Their bitterness and suffering could not be washed away. Once they got rid of it, their gratitude was indescribable. Xiao Yi gained an unparalleled Power of Merit.
It was also beyond Xiao Yi's expectation.
After transcending the souls of the girls inside the Sky-ghost's body, with a wave of his hand, he broke the formation.
The cold wind disappeared at once, and the suction from the formation also disappeared.
However, it still caused Duanmu Kurong's spirit to tremble. When the Gate of Samsara was opened, that suction force was also effective against Duanmu Kurong. He was almost sucked in. If he were sucked in, his entire Warrior Sage Realm would be wasted. Only then would it truly start from the beginning.
This was the difficulty of having a spirit without a physical body in this world. Why did Duanmu Kurong always want to seize an opportunity to possess the body? When he failed to take Xiao Yi's body, he even wanted to possess a demonic beast. This was the reason why.
Of course, the reason why Xiao Yi communicated with the Samsara Formation in front of him was naturally for the purpose of intimidating Duanmu Kurong. Seeing that Duanmu Kurong was shivering, Xiao Yi opened his mouth and said, "Duanmu Kurong, now, the souls in the Sky-ghost have already crossed over, leaving only a compelling Sky-ghost body behind. If you are truly willing to submit to me, I will bestow this Sky-ghost body to you for you to stay alive temporarily. If you still have any bad intentions, the Soul Devouring Beast over there has been looking at you for a long time."
"I'm willing to submit!" At this moment, Duanmu Kurong was so frightened that there was no other way to go. With a loud cry, his Divine Soul immediately rushed to the body of the Sky-ghost, and suddenly slipped into it.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about Sky-ghost's image as a little girl. It was the most important thing to be able to settle down and get rid of Soul Devouring Beast.
The Sky-ghost's body was already extremely pure. When Duanmu Kurong's soul entered it, it was not obstructed in the slightest. Very quickly, it became one with this body. He tried to move his arms and kick his legs, and his movements were incomparably agile.
Duanmu Kurong was overjoyed. He tried to activate his True Energy and, with a loud bang, suddenly transformed into the image of a three-meter tall, terrifyingly white-boned Sky-ghost. Every part of his body was filled with a sense of power as if he could crush everything in his path.
"Hahahaha..." Duanmu Kurong's entire life's pursuit of power had already reached the point where he had become obsessed. Now, when he felt the boundless sense of power around his body, he could not help but feel overjoyed. His huge bony claws opened and closed, and his body suddenly disappeared into the air. In the next second, he appeared beside the Soul Devouring Beast, which was in a daze and disappointed state. He opened his bony claws and charged toward the Soul Devouring Beast.
"Evil creature, b*stard, you've been tormenting me for so long. I'm going to crush you and eat you alive!" Duanmu Kurong shouted in a stern voice.
"Tch tch!" The Soul Devouring Beast widened its bean-like eyes and was so scared that it nearly fainted.
However, in the next second, a cluster of six strands of True Energy suddenly surged out from Duanmu Kurong's Mind Sea, burning him until he cried out in pain. The huge Sky-ghost's body tumbled and fell to the ground, returning to the little girl's appearance. Gritting his teeth, he cried out, "Why are there six strands of True Energy inside this Sky-ghost's Mind Sea?"
"You idiot! You have a strong Divine Soul and such a powerful body of Sky-ghost. How can I not be wary of you? To tell you the truth, inside the body of Sky-ghost, there are 108 restriction formations placed by me. As long as you are reckless, every restriction formation will be enough to destroy your soul! Do you dare to be restless?" Xiao Yi shouted.
Upon hearing these words, Duanmu Kurong completely wilted. Deep down, he was filled with hatred. This brat's cultivation level was clearly low, yet, his mind and all kinds of tricks could not even be comprehended by him. This time around, he could be considered as completely defeated.
Xiao Yi could see his dejection, but he also said, "Duanmu Kurong, you are extremely vicious. Now you fell into my hands, and I naturally won't let you go. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will suffer. Right now, I'm using my own strength. Your strength isn't ordinary, and I'll leave you with great use. Thus, I won't kill you. In the future, if you change your temper, I'll naturally give you freedom. You can even find a better body for you. However, at this moment, any resistance of yours is futile."
Duanmu Kurong knew that Xiao Yi was speaking the truth. He had to lower his head now that he was under the roof. Even though the Sky-ghost's body resembled that of a young girl and was controlled by 108 restrictions, it was still solid and extraordinary. It was many times stronger than the misery of being bitten by crows in the world of demons without daylight. There was no other way but to admit it.
Xiao Yi observed the change in Duanmu Kurong's expression and noticed the change in his thoughts. He said in a deep voice, "You can call me Sect Leader in the future. I'll call you Duanmu in front of others to avoid revealing your true name of the strongest person in the Devil's cultivation and cause trouble on your own!"
"Err... Yes!" How could Duanmu Kurong dare to say no? He immediately agreed.
After dealing with Duanmu Kurong, Xiao Yi once again turned his gaze towards the Soul Devouring Beast.
The Soul Devouring Beast had just been nearly killed by the Sky-ghost's claw, and it was scared out of its wits. Its ugly face was pulled to one side, and its two forelegs were tightly crossed in front of its chest. It looked at Xiao Yi pitifully with a pair of bean-like eyes. Its entire body was shaking nonstop, and its buttocks were wet. It was actually scared out of its wits.
Seeing its cowardly appearance, Xiao Yi couldn't help shaking his head. He reached into his chest, took out a bottle of Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills, threw it to it, and said, "Here, this bottle of Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills is for you. It's easy for you to cultivate and improve your cultivation. With such low cultivation, why have you been in the demon world for so long?"
"Jiji!" The Soul Devouring Beast was overjoyed. It hurriedly stretched out its claws and grabbed the pills as if it had obtained a precious treasure. In the next second, it had entered the Square Gourd and refined the pill's efficacy.
Upon entering the gourd, it was inevitable that the little Illusory Vine would laugh at it.
The Soul Devouring Beast couldn't care less. It pulled out the cork and poured all the Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills into its mouth like beans. Then, it found a corner, laid dormant, and quietly refined the pills.
At long last, Xiao Yi had finished dealing with Duanmu Kurong. He let go of a significant event that weighed heavily on his mind. With a jolt of his mind, he pulled out the horn of the Wind Leopard from the micro world.
Duanmu Kurong, who had turned into a Sky-ghost, upon seeing the horn of the Wind Leopard, his eyes shined. He immediately squeezed his way over and said. "Umm, Sect Leader, this is indeed a good treasure. The fact that the Wind Leopard was able to utilize wind attribute techniques was all thanks to this horn of the wind attribute. This is the essence of the Wind Leopard's body. It truly cannot be obtained with materials for artifact refining. There are a lot of treasures in the demon world, this can be considered one of them."
"Oh? Looks like you know quite a lot about the demon world." After hearing Duanmu Kurong's words, Xiao Yi's heart jolted, and he asked casually.
Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Duanmu Kurong's eyes started to flicker. He actually closed his mouth very vigilantly. With a laugh, he said. "What I know is merely about the things that happened around the altar. The demons in the demon world are extremely large, many times larger than in the human world. The fact that I was imprisoned within them, I know very little, very little!"
Xiao Yi could tell that Duanmu Kurong was evasive. Just as he was about to question him, his Divine Awareness detected that Liu Qingfeng, Hong Xiezi, Wu Shizhong, and Wu Peng from the Order of the Ghost Medical Sect had arrived at the same time.
He didn't have the time to ask more questions about the demon world. Instead, he led the young man out of the room.
Everyone was sitting in the meeting hall, drinking tea and talking, waiting for Xiao Yi.
As soon as they saw Xiao Yi coming out, Wu Shizhong and Wu Peng stood up at the same time and shouted, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Xiao Yi smiled and waved his hand. He sized up Wu Peng and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, Wu Peng has actually successfully reached the Foundation-building Realm! Congratulations!"
"With all the pills provided by the Sect Leader, the cultivation of the Wu clan of the Ghost Medical Sect has greatly increased. Thank you, Sect Leader, for your kindness!" Wu Peng said quite excitedly. It could be seen that the entire Wu clan was even more loyal to Xiao Yi at this moment.
Xiao Yi smiled and waved his hand, allowing Wu Shizhong and Wu Peng to take their seats.
Liu Qingfeng of the Thousand Poisons Sect sat beside Wu Peng. He was still dressed in white and held a bamboo flute, looking like a well-dressed young man. His calm and composed eyes did not live up to the name of "Poison Sage Liu". His cultivation had already broken through the Core Forming Realm, and became a powerful man. Naturally, this had something to do with the spiritual medicine that Xiao Yi provided him.
The woman beside him, Hong Xiezi, was still wearing a red dress. In this cold weather, she was still wearing a cool dress with a large part of her white chest exposed. When she was talking, her big eyes were full of radiance and were full of affection. Her eyes were like ripples of water. She glanced at everyone present.
